NEW YORK (February 28, 2018) – Explorer, adventurer and host of the hit series “Expedition Unknown,” Josh Gates showcases the unexpected stories of unforgettable places around the world in Travel Channel’s new series “Legendary Locations.”Premiering with back-to-back episodes on Wednesday, March 28 at 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. ET/PT, the 13-episode season features Gates as he recounts the gripping history behind storied and popular places. From an ancient city carved into Jordan’s sandstone cliffs and a favorite summer getaway of notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar, to an Irish landscape now known as Luke Skywalker’s lair, Gates investigates the ancient legends and surprising folklore that travelers and locals alike love to share.

“My adventures have taken me to more than 100 countries across the globe and the places that have truly stayed with me are the ones with their own stories to tell,” said Gates. “I’m revealing locations that are truly legendary – each one framed by an epic backstory, a secret origin or forgotten lore. From luminescent glow-worm caves in New Zealand and a once debaucherous, sunken city in Italy to a Viking festival of fire, each spin of the globe reveals another jaw-dropping destination. These are the stories behind places you know, like the iconic Statue of Liberty, to hidden places you’ve never imagined. The world is a weird, wild and wondrous place, and I can’t wait to share its most legendary locations.”

The premiere episode kicks off with a trek up the snowy Romanian mountaintops of Transylvania, where the true story of two castles are even bloodier than the iconic vampire tale of Dracula. Then, just miles off the coast of Japan, Hashima Island is a real-world dystopia. Resembling something out of science fiction, the once populous mining community lies in haunting ruin. Finally, in a bizarre Christmas tradition reemerging in Munich, holiday revelry is replaced with a parade of pagan monsters.”

I record and watch his shows over and over. He is amazing, brilliant and visits each country showing them great respect and grace. I am an avid history reader and love mysteries and folklore, i would love the opportunity to visit some of those places with him and experience the feeling of walking in the path of our ancestors. Please don’t ever cancel his shows, with all the other trash on TV, his shows are a breath of fresh air.

I am big fan of Josh Gates and his past two shows he has, but this latest one I am NOT to fond of, ONLY because he is not traveling and showing off his talent and his silly antics… seeing him stationary isn’t my idea of of entertainment 🙁

Expedition Unknown is a great show! But Legendary Locations is another boring Travel Channel time filler. Unfortunately they do these boring spin offs with many of their shows to save on production costs. But they lose a lot viewers in the process.

Josh is an explorer. Narration should be left to those that can no longer explore. The draw to the Destination Truth and Exploration Unknown shows was Josh’s ability to connect to and personalize the experiences he had with the viewer. Interactions with locals in the region not only showcased Josh’s humor but also worked additionally in showcasing him as a great ambassador of the US. I miss it already- the curiousness, the excitement and the comedy which is- Josh Gates. I get it he has a family and may need to limit the travel… Take them with you! Steve Irwin… Read more »

He’s passionate about his shows, or at least the last two. I agree this latest one is quite boring, but he himself in action and on the move is wonderful along with his old crew and I must hand it to him on his silly antics 🙂

I love Josh with a passion. Witty, intelligent, funny, and fun. I will watch Destination Truth and Expedition unknown over and over again. But I can’t sit through Legendary Locations. Just no personality to this show.
